Ma bonne Laure

Je me suis laissé aller à attendre pour te répondre mon retour de Morey, qui a eu lieu aujourd’hui. … Les Brownings d’Italie parlent d’arriver sur la fin de Juin et hésitent pour leur vacances entre Fontainebleau et Trouville. Je voudrais bien qu’ils se décidassent pour Fontainebleau.

My good Laure

I let myself wait to answer you until my return from Morey, which was today. … The Brownings from Italy are speaking of arriving toward the end of June and are hesitating between Fontainebleau and Trouville for their vacations. I would really like it if they decided on Fontainebleau.
